Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

Some of mine:1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

Hi val, I'm Muro, are you familiar with what I do? . You'll get caustic and bombastic and other adjectives ending with -ic. No worries.

Do I have to wear a tie and how long is my speech?

Do I have to wear pants?

Pants are optional. Ties a must.

Regarding your speech, Strolen, you are obvioulsy anticipating receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. (You know the one that goes to some old fogie that the Academy forgets about for 20 years then goes, "Oh hey! This guy is still alive! Lets give him some award").

I wonder who leaked it. Heads will roll! (But yes, prepare for small speech)

I can lend you one of my little black cocktail dresses if you'd prefer.

I'm sure Pieh would look ravishing, but then the pressure would be on! If Pieh doesn't win an award for something, his evening will boil down to sitting around in a fancy black little cocktail dress and clapping. The morning talk-shows will have a field day at his expense!

-------------------------------------

So yeah, I want to try this, and now have lots of work to do. Basically, I have to review 2010 in subs, forums, upgrades, newbies, oldies, etc...

Maybe once we have the nominees, the "Academy" (Strolen members) can vote in polls on each award. Just a thought.

As for the little black dress situation: I don't typically wear anything that can be described as little, but if you can find a BIG black cocktail dress, or a tarp, I would gladly wear one of those, if not... It's shirt, tie, boxers.

This is an incomplete list, brought to you after years and years and years of research by yours truly and Strolen.

There will be a few more categories added before the big awards banquet on the 27th.

As you may notice, some of the Categories will be strictly for 2010, and some will be overall ones. Some will be determined purely objectively, based on Magic Scripts (Strolen tm), while others will be determined subjectively (its a secret how), and some will be decided by YOUR votes!

Interactive: 1. Guess a winner of any category, attain glory and win some XP! You'll know if you guessed right on the 27th. (Strolen-Approved) 2. Suggest a category (but not a winner), attain glory and win some XP! (Strolen-Approved)

I now present the almost-completed list of categories (leaving out my snarky running commentary for now):
